Guided Truth

Bless the LORD, O my soul,
   and all that is within me,
   bless his holy name!


For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

Power

there was a man whose appearance was like bronze, with a linen cord and a measuring reed in his hand.

And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, "Who is this?"

Waiting On The Lord

David said to him, "How is it you were not afraid to put out your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?"

hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

Your Grace Is Enough For Me

Solomon the son of David established himself in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and made him exceedingly great.

What is man, that you are mindful of him,
   or the son of man, that you care for him?

Persistence

Ephraim has surrounded me with lies,
   and the house of Israel with deceit,
but Judah still walks with God
   and is faithful to the Holy One.
Pray for Us

Brothers In Christ

"May my lord King David live forever!"


1Now concerning food offered to idols: we know that "all of us possess knowledge." This "knowledge" puffs up, but love builds up. 2If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. 3But if anyone loves God, he is known by God.
 4Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that "an idol has no real existence," and that "there is no God but one." 5For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"— 6yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.

Compassion

Peace Offerings

romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Rivers of Mercy

"The blessing of the LORD be upon you!
We bless you in the name of the LORD!"



Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,  casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

Thoughts and prayers

Fear God
  Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. To draw near to listen is better than to offer the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they are doing evil.  Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words be few.  For a dream comes with much business, and a fool’s voice with many words.

"'And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
   are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for from you shall come a ruler
   who will shepherd my people Israel.'"

Surrender

The Feast of Purim Inaugurated
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy."

Patience

A Song of Ascents.
 1"Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth"—
    let Israel now say—
2"Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth,
    yet they have not prevailed against me.
 
 
 
5I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.
